Like this:

public function getForm(TwillModelContract $model): Form
    {
        $form = parent::getForm($model);

        $form->add([
            Columns::make()
                ->left([
                    Input::make()->name('f_name')->label('First name'),
                    Input::make()->name('infix')->label('Infix'),
                    Input::make()->name('l_name')->label('Last name'),
                    Input::make()->name('email')->type('email')->label('Email'),
                ])
                ->right([
                    Input::make()->name('phone_nr')->label('Phone number'),
                    Input::make()->name('street_address')->label('Street address'),
                    Input::make()->name('city')->label('City'),
                    Input::make()->name('postal')->label('Postal'),
                ]),
            Input::make()->name('comment')->type('textarea')->label('Comment'),
        ]);

        return $form;
    }

    public function getSideFieldsets(TwillModelContract $model): Form
    {
        $form = parent::getForm($model);

        $form->add([
                Input::make()->name('proxeed_men_q')->disabled()->label('Proxeed men quantity')->note('Amount ordered'),
                Input::make()->name('proxeed_women_q')->disabled()->label('Proxeed women inositol quantity')->note('Amount ordered'),
                Input::make()->name('order_total')->disabled()->label('Order total'),
                Input::make()->name('order_nr')->disabled()->label('Order number'),
                Input::make()->name('mollie_id')->disabled()->label('Mollie id'),
        ]);

        return $form;
    }

instead of add you can use merge like this:

public function getForm(TwillModelContract $model): Form
    {
        $form = parent::getForm($model);

        return $form->merge([
            Input::make()->name('description')->label('Description')->translatable(),
            Medias::make()->name('cover')->label('Cover image'),
            BlockEditor::make()
        ]);
    }

$form is a laravel collection so you can use the same methods. merge returns a new instance so you have to return or capture&return it.

push also works:

php
        $form = parent::getForm($model);

        $form->push(
            Input::make()->name('description')->label('Description')->translatable(),
            Medias::make()->name('cover')->label('Cover image'),
            BlockEditor::make()
        );

        return $form;

Thx 🙂

🙂 loving the form builder in the controller.

Is there also a way to build forms for blocks inside a controller?

Ah i see already. Inside View/Components/Twill/Blocks right?

php artisan twill:make:componentBlock 🤩

So than the whole twill folder inside views is not needed anymore.

It still is required for repeaters, unless you use inline repeaters.

also, form builders are not as flexible as blade forms since you cannot add wrappers/css.

And there's the

BladePartial

field if you need that

Thanks, appreciate all the help.

Hey there. I made a form, in which block can be added. I named the block Image. It has only form-field media, which has the name gallery and for form-field media I added extraMetaDatas with the name exitURL. How can I access the exitURL field when rendering that block?

Hey @BlazinglyFast you'll need to use $block->imageObject(s) then you can call

getMetadata

on that/those objects

thanks, it worked

what is the best was to show data from repository in blade files?

Hi @thelongestsigh do you mean blade files for your frontend?

or blade files controlling your twill forms?

i mean blade files in frontend

i tried following the steps in tutorial video 5 but it doesn't work for me

videos are a bit outdated at this point, we're working on communicating that clearly with the upcomimg Twill 3 release. Where are you blocked? Twill models are regular models, they come with a forSlug scope if you are using HasSlug on them and from there you can access standard fields like regular model properties and things like medias and blocks through helpers

thanks i'll try to do it that way

How can you get access to an uploaded file from blade frontend?

You can access ->file('role')

How can you use it?

wihich apprach is better to create a custom modules - create default twill modules or create twill capsules? And why ?

If you intend to move the module to a composer package or just want the ability to easily copy a module from your project to another one without having to copy files from the whole Laravel folder structure, use a capsule
